19:38Z EF0 KHGX TX Fort Bend Long Pt This EF0 tornado touched down near the intersection of FM 1994 and Fair Childs Long Point Road five miles east southeast of Needville. A sporadic path of tree damage was found extending northeast toward Thompsons Oil Field and into Sienna. Most of the damage found consisted of broken tree limbs, small trees uprooted, minor roof and siding damage, and downed fences.
20:07Z EF0 KHGX TX Brazoria Pearland EF0 damage was observed in southwest Pearland. A path of damaged trees and fences was found from just west of the intersection of CR 90 and Bailey Avenue extending northeast to near Magnolia Parkway. The most significant damage noted was along Crescent Drive where nearly ten homes had minor roof and window damage.
20:15Z EF3 KHGX TX Harris Pearland This EF3 tornado touched down near El Franco Lee Park east of Brookside Village. The path of damage extended east northeast, then northeast from there, across portions of Southeast Houston, Pasadena, Deer Park and Baytown. Most of the|damage was rated EF0 and EF1 with damage to trees, fences and minor roof damage, but there were some spots with more severe damage, rated EF2. These included the Beamer apartments in Southeast Houston, a few homes in Pasadena, a church in Deer Park near Center Street and East P Street, and a single family home with roof and some walls removed near the intersection of East X Street and Luella. From an aerial survey, there were three high tension electrical towers flattened northeast of Deer Park near the Houston Ship Channel with EF3 damage. From there, the damage path entered Baytown, north of the Ship Channel. In Baytown there was a mobile home and a single family home destroyed along Weaver Street near Bayway. Damage became more spotty and less intense northeast from there with spotty damage as far north as TX 330 Spur. Aerial surveys indicated some minor roof damage to the Exxon building south of West Baker Street. Damage continued up to Interstate 10 where down power lines were observed. No damage was indicated north of Interstate 10.
20:58Z EF0 KHGX TX Chambers Cove This short-lived EF0 tornado produced damage to some trees the the Cove area.
21:27Z EF2 KHGX TX Liberty Felicia This short-lived tornado struck a residence along CR 1009 in Eastern Liberty County, not far from the Jefferson County line. The home sustained EF2 damage with its roof removed and windows shattered. Mud was splattered on all sides of the home. Residents reported heavy rain and very high winds during the tornado passage. There were no injuries as residents sheltered in an interior bathroom. One horse was injured by debris. Debris was lofted at least two miles north with the debris field visible crossing SH 90.
22:05Z EF1 KHGX TX Jefferson La Belle An EF-1 tornado touched down just south of Highway 73, and tracked into the Taylor Landing community. Weak damage to roofs were common, along with uprooted trees and destroyed privacy fences. The tornado ended somewhere in the Taylor Bayou marsh downstream from Taylor Landing. Max estimated winds were 90 mph.
22:23Z EF1 KLCH TX Orange Orangefield Arpt A brief tornado developed over the Bessie Heights Marsh producing damage to trees and roofs from Nora Circle across Round Bunch Road, Edgar Drive to Turner Road. The tornado damaged electrical transmission lines as it weakened before Bessie Heights Road. Max estimated winds were 100 mph.
22:28Z EF2 KLCH TX Orange Bobsher The Orange-Calcasieu Tornado touched down near Orangefield Road and quickly produced EF-2 damage a few blocks northwest of Orangefield High School. This area sustained the most severe damage from this tornado, where winds were estimated to max out at 120 mph. Numerous homes were either heavily damaged or destroyed. The tornado then crossed over Cow Bayou, and produced mostly EF-1 damage through the rest of Orange County. The tornado crossed the Sabine River over a section of West Bluff Road. A marine survey revealed that the tornado did remain continuous across the Sabine River Swamp area.
22:42Z EF2 KLCH LA Calcasieu Nibletts Bluff This tornado is a continuation from the Orange Tornado. The tornado crossed the Sabine River near a section of West Bluff Road and the Sabine River Swamp area eventually impacting the Niblett's Bluff Park in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The tornado gained strength once again, destroying homes, RVs, and other outbuildings along Wright Road. The tornado then produced mostly EF1 damage through the remainder of it's path into the Sabine River Diversion System, and the Big Woods area. |The tornado finally lifted near Woods Loop Road just north of it's intersection with Navaho Trail. Max estimated winds were 120 mph.
22:44Z EF1 KLCH LA Calcasieu Nibletts Bluff The Gum Slough Tornado touched down just south of Line Road, and merged with the Nibletts Bluff Tornado. Trees were damaged while sections of roofs were taken off of a mobile home and an outbuilding.
23:05Z EF2 KLCH LA Calcasieu Buhler An EF-2 tornado touched down near near Perkins Pipeline Road and tracked northeast for 12 miles through northern Calcasieu Parish and into southeast Beauregard Parish. Only 4 miles were in Calcasieu Parish and the tornado only damaged trees and power lines before tracking into Beauregard Parish. Max estimated winds were 125 mph.
23:08Z EF2 KLCH LA Beauregard Gordon This tornado developed in Calcasieu Parish and continued into Beauregard Parish. The tornado damaged numerous homes and outbuildings, while snapping or uprooting numerous trees. This tornado tracked directly through the community of Gaytine after crossing Highway 171. There were three injuries with this tornado prior to lifting east of the Gaytine community. Maximum estimated winds were 125 mph.
23:12Z EF1 KLCH LA Beauregard Kernan A National Weather Service storm survey revealed that an EF-1 tornado touched down near Jackson Gimnick Loop and tracked northeast into rural southeast Beauregard Parish. This tornado lifted prior to reaching the Allen Parish line. This tornado tracked mostly through open fields or forested areas. There were some homes and outbuildings damaged along Foreman Road and near Doug Addison Road. Maximum estimated winds were 100 mph.
01:37Z EF1 KPOE LA Pointe Coupee Patin A brief 90MPH EF1 tornado touched down near Cutt Pointe Drive and moved northeast before lifting near Michael Lane. Three manufactured homes were damaged which were the focus of the 90 MPH EF1 rating. One was abandoned and not strapped down and was rolled. The other was also not strapped down and it flew into the third. For that one, the base was strapped down but due to the walls not being well connected to the base and the debris flying into it, the resulting rating was 90 MPH. Otherwise, shingle and siding damage and tree damage were observed. There were 3 injuries with this tornado.
04:01Z EF1 KLIX LA Terrebonne Houma A brief tornado touched down near Holley Street and moved quickly northeast. A RV that was not tied down was flipped here along with minor fence damage. Farther northeast, a large piece of roof was removed from a house along with a barn shifted and damaged. A house to the north also had minor damage. Around this, debris was thrown in all directions as well as evidence on the ground of debris digging in and being dragged. This path was extended through the support of high resolution satellite imagery NDVI differencing which provided evidence of damage to vegetation on a path cutting through the marsh before concluding after the tornado crossed Highway 90.
04:55Z EFU KLIX LA Jefferson Barataria Apparent tornado damage path in the marsh with discoloration of ground which matches up with area of rotation that tracked through this area. Tornado appears to have started over Lake Salvador and move onshore north of Barataria Blvd. Max width of the tornado and further extension of the path was supported by NDVI differencing.
11:04Z EF0 KEVX FL Walton Grayton Beach A brief Tornadic Debris Signature occurred on Eglin AFB radar in a forested area. No structures were impacted, and the tornado was rated EF0 due to tree damage.
11:15Z EF0 KEVX FL Walton Bunker A short-lived tornado tracked through a heavily forested portion of southern Walton County, touching down just north of the intracoastal waterway near Bunker Road and dissipating shortly thereafter. The track and EF0 intensity is based on photos of tree damage from Walton County Emergency Management and a Tornadic Debris Signature from the Eglin Air Force Base WSR-88D Radar.
11:16Z EF0 KEVX FL Walton Bunker Another short-lived tornado tracked through a heavily forested portion of southern Walton County. No structures were impacted, and the tornado was rated EF0 due to tree damage.
